3. Improve Your Fitness Routine Instead of Spending More Time With Friends

Avoiding people doesn’t have to mean you’re cooped up inside all the time.

Maybe you’ve been working on your solo fitness routine to shed some pounds.

Picture this: You step on the scale and finally see your goal weight.

Congratulations! But it gets even better.

You’re about to receive a generous check you can spend on stuff to do alone or wisely stick into your savings — all just for losing weight!

It’s not a fantasy. If you wager on your own commitment with HealthyWage, this could very well happen for you… as long as you stick to your guns and lose the weight.

Here’s how: Sign up for HealthyWage, and define a goal weight and a timeframe to achieve it. Place a monetary bet on yourself, between $20 to $500 a month.

HealthyWage’s calculator will consider how much weight you have to lose, how much time you give yourself to do it and how much money you wager to determine your reward. You could win up to $10,000!

4. Be a Bookkeeper

Does earning $60 an hour sound appealing? Duh, of course it does. How about the freedom to work remotely with small business owners you’ll probably never have to deal with in person?

Those are the perks of working as a bookkeeper, says Ben Robinson, a certified public accountant and business owner who teaches others to become virtual bookkeepers.

And no, you don’t have be a CPA to be successful in this business. In fact, all you really need are decent computer skills and a passion for helping business owners tackle real-world problems.

It’s a great opportunity for moms who want to work part time, millennials who are just out of college and anyone who wants to bring in real money while working from home — with minimal human interaction.

5. Do Your Banking Online, So You Never Have to Talk to Anyone

Have you had enough with the small talk at the bank? For goodness’ sake, no one cares what you’re doing this weekend.

Open an account with an online bank, and never talk about the weather with a teller again.

To get started, just download the app and start scanning barcodes of the items you want to sell. You won’t pay any fees. Decluttr even sends you a prepaid shipping label, so you don’t have to go to the post office. Plus, enter PENNY5 at checkout to get an extra $5 on your trade-ins!

Have a bunch of old college textbooks laying around? Are all of the novels you’ve burned through instead of being social collecting dust? Sell them on BookScouter.

Just type your book’s ISBN (International Standard Book Number — it’s near the book’s barcode and copyright info) into the search bar and the site will connect you with more than 25 of the best-paying and most reputable buyback companies online.

7. Get Paid to Drink by Yourself

Drinking at bars is overrated.

It’s loud, people are everywhere — and they might even try to talk to you. It’s probably better to stock up on some adult libations and just drink at home by yourself.

Rebate app Ibotta understands and will actually give you money for buying booze at grocery and liquor stores. If you’re feeling adventurously social, it works at bars and restaurants, too.

Here’s how it works….

1. Sign up for Ibotta here (you just need a name/email address to start).

2. Browse through the cash-back offers in your area and take note the next time you go to the grocery or liquor store (the offers change every week). For example, Ibotta recently featured a $2 rebate for taking a picture of a receipt showing the purchase of a 12-pack of Coors Light or $3 back on a bottle of Jose Cuervo tequila. Once you’ve reached at least $20 in earnings, you can request payment via Paypal or Venmo. And right now, Ibotta is giving new users a $10 sign-up bonus, just for redeeming their first receipt.

3. So, obviously you don’t want to buy a bunch of crap you weren’t already going to buy. But, this can be an easy way to get a little cash-back for doing something you were already going to do. Also, you can still use coupons on the items you’re buying, so this can be a nifty way to “stack” your savings and in some cases, you might be able to get the item for free.

8. Shop Online So You Never Have to Go Outside

It turns out deleting your emails could be costing you serious money. Intrigued?

One of our secret weapons is called Paribus — a tool that gets you money back for your online purchases. It’s free to sign up, and once you do, it will scan your email archives for any receipts. If it discovers you’ve purchased something from one of its monitored retailers, it will track the item’s price and help you get a refund anytime there’s a price drop.

9. Earn Money From Credit Card and Bank Bonuses

Did you know a lot of credit cards and banks will give you money just for signing up? Instead of getting a toaster, they’re getting straight to the point these days: cold, hard cash.

These bonuses usually come with a few requirements. Typically, you’ll have to spend a certain amount on the credit card or deposit a certain amount into the bank account within the first few months of opening.

Switch your typical spending to these accounts, at least temporarily, and you could earn hundreds of dollars in bonuses a year!

You’ll sign up as a “Turker” with your Amazon account and accept tasks (called “HITs”) like data entry, writing, research or taking surveys. The work won’t be crazy exciting, but it’s not a bad way to pass the time, especially when you’re getting paid.

13. Take Care of Houses

House-sitting is kind of like babysitting, except you don’t have to be around kids all day. Sometimes, you don’t have to talk to another person at all.

The best bonus, really, is you get to stay in some pretty nice houses. You can get paid to look after them while the owners are out of town.

House-sitting can be a smart way to find free lodging when you travel, or you can actually turn it into a business and get paid for your service!

16. Work at a Cat Cafe

Yeah, if you work in a cat cafe, you’re going to have to deal with people. But they’re cat people, so you can probably handle it.

We found three cat cafe jobs that pay up to $13 an hour, plus tips. If you have barista experience, your main job could be taking and preparing drink orders and helping customers. If you only want to hang out with cats, they have “cat wrangler” positions just for you.

Either way, if you’re a cat-lover, it’s a pretty great way to meet some new feline friends.

Who knows? You might even connect with some cat-loving humans while you’re at it!

17. Write Book Reviews

Spending another Saturday afternoon reading? Yeah, we thought so.

You ought to get paid for that time.

Lots of sites will send you free books and/or pay you to write book reviews. Here are 18 of them. If you’re an avid reader, it’s a great way to save money!

Some sites will publish your review in their magazine or blog. Some will ask you to publish at your own blog or on Amazon. Most ask for your honest review, but a few will only pay for positive reviews.
